Those who have died in Ireland and among the diaspora led full and cherished lives. The Lives Lost series in The Irish Times tells the stories behind the numbers.

With almost 5,000 people dead on the island to date, the Covid-19 pandemic has taken a terrible toll on families across Ireland. But behind that statistic are the stories of mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, sons and daughters - people who lived full and varied lives, and enriched their communities.

Lives Lost, a series of obituaries of those who have died of Covid-19 in Ireland and its diaspora, seeks to tell those stories.
